Blimey Marc, you're full of surprises! Never had you down as a Linkin Park fan.

Random music fact: they wanted to be called Lincoln Park, but www.lincolnpark.com was taken, so they changed it to Linkin Park.

I can't pretend that I ever liked his band, but yes, this is sad. Only 41.

I got into them through my kids playing Mereora and Hybrid Theory constantly . Ive seen them live three times.
In fact I am a bit of a jinx when it comes to watching live artistes and them dying young.....Queen, Michael Jackson, Soundgarden, Prince, George Michael and Bowie......I'm worried for Stevie Wonder and Sting now

It is a bit of a coincidence them dying within a month of one another but it's not a connection I'd expect most people to make. Malcolm I would perhaps expected to have got a comment on here, what with AC/DC and that, but George? Not so much. I knew who he was but I'm a pop music nerd and the news of his death passed even me by for a few days; I don't think it was widely reported.
